ebony challenge part 2

Along with the first piece there was a second piece.  At the thickest part it was about 3/4 inches thick.   Since piece one is so plain and very black, I think it needs to have some color.  I ordered some faux ivory but it is taking probably 2 weeks to be delivered.  I made a couple of ash balls to see how they look and what size I needed to make for the final.  


While waiting for the ivory, I decided to make some out of the ebony and the sap wood.  I didn't have jaws to fit the small piece of ebony that I cut out.  I drilled a hole in a scrap piece of wood and cut some slices in it so that it could grip it better...didn't work as well as I had hoped but CA glue worked fine
